grindal worms harvest ?

Advertisements

hello, I am a new member . I keep discus and heard you killifish keepers are experts at live food cultures etc. I have some grindal worms for three weeks now and want to start feeding my baby discus . I did today for the first time and found that it is hard to pick up the worms and separate the peat moss from the worms when feeding . I figure I would rinse them a couple of times.
I though if I could put the glass , recess it and then put food on top of it I might not have to deal with the bedding material ..
How do you all handle this ?
Thanks,
roberto.

Ok, this morning I found out my idea of putting the food on the top of the glass "Does Not Work " I had to rinse the glass in hot hot water a good while to loosened up the dried up like cement powdered baby food ...
I still woul like to hear some ways you all use to collect them ..
Thanks,
roberto.

Another way:
take a small amount from he culture dirt , put in a small can of tune for example ,cover the can with net of windows , put the can in hot water after 5 minutes you will see them on the net
Hope i helped

Hi. Was given a small culture. Have some questions I hope you can help answer. What is the best food for the worms? Tried dog food but it turned mouldy. Need to mist the soil/peat and food with water every day? I put mine in a clear disposable food container. Cut holes in the lid and filled them with filter sponge so flies can't go in.
